Flooded Murray River residents in South Australia provided with incorrect daily flow data

Residents along the Murray River in South Australia have been told daily data on water flow into the state is inaccurate as flooding continues. Key points: Flows coming into South Australia were confirmed to be at approximately 23 gigalitres higher than reported Flood-affected locals have expressed surprise and confusion over the discrepancy There is no change to the expected peak of the River Murray between 190 and 220 gigalitres On Thursday, the state government revealed official daily flow data at the South Australian border, used to measure the amount of water heading along the river into the state, differed from the true figure. Despite this discrepancy, there is no change in the predicted peak of river flows later this month, with authorities forecasting flows of between 190GL and 220GL at the border around Christmas Day. Department for Environment and Water executive director of water and the River Murray Ben Bruce said authorities realised around a week ago there was a difference between what was expected to be coming across the border each day and what was being officially recorded.
